First released in 2005 the UTG M324 has set the benchmark for affordable, high performance sniper rifles to which practically every new sniper rifle has been compared to ever since. Over the years we have seen the release of new generations which featured improved specs and build quality as technology advanced. In November, 2009 UTG unveiled the 5th Generation M324 which sees several improvements to the rifles design once again making it the best sniper rifle in its class.

The M324 is extremely solid and beefy which gives it the feel of a military sniper rifle. Its dense synthetic stock has deeply grooved checkered grips while its butt pad is made of real rubber to insure this rifle won’t slip at the critical moment. Included are 3 spacers which increase the depth of the butt pad so you can tailor the length of the butt stock for the best fit. The construction of the rifle is mostly metal with the only exceptions being the stock and magazines. The barrel, receiver, rails, bolt and bolt handle are all made of metal giving the rifle good heft and balance.

For the 5th Generation M324 UTG has redesigned how the barrel is anchored to the receiver. Instead of a single screw which tended to loosen after a few thousand rounds it now has an imbedded cross bar which holds the barrel much more securely and makes a noticeable difference in the rifles accuracy. The bolt action has also been completely redesigned with a whole new bolt handle and bolt cap which now have locking pins similar to those found on an MK96. Even the safety switch is different with a new ergonomic design and more positive operation.

In addition to the new barrel design UTG has also tweaked the hop-up on this rifle making it more aggressive so it can now be more effective with specific heavyweight sniper BBs. Once we had this rifle dialed in with .4g BBs we were consistently pegging a pie plate from 160 feet away! When going up against a standard torso sized target the M324 could consistently connect with its mark from 230 feet. We did note that due to this enhanced hop-up you should not use anything lighter than a .36g BB in order to keep a level trajectory. We had the best results when using Mad Bull .4g BBs.

Included with the M324 are two 25 round magazines, speed loader, cleaning rod and a deluxe non slip rifle sling. UTG is also throwing in their folding weaver rail metal bi-pod!!

Shown with UTG TACTEDGE 4X40 Illuminated Scope (sold separately).

WARNING: The bolt handle on this rifles action has a transfer pin which actuates the handles locking mechanism. This pin is visible on the front side of the handles base when the bolt action is back. DO NOT depress the pin when the bolt action is back as this will release the handle and the small transfer pin can fall out.

NOTE: The following video shows the older M324 Gen 2, not the current model Gen 5 which is for sale here. The Gen 2 has slightly lower performance and did not have the large screw pre-installed in the trigger guard.

this gun looks and shoot incredible. the power is overwelming. it dominates the field. the velocity is so good. at over 200 feet it will hit dead on (with the .25). the paint on this is so much better than i though it was. it is truly the best camo and the best gun of them all.you could throw this gun into the bushes, and you can hardly see it (i'm not lying).

I have this and trust me, THIS will hurt your friends in ur backyard battles but for the wars i go to and tournaments i go to, THIS THING IS SO F***ING GOOD! I have 2, this and the desert camo, i duel wield them as a joke sometimes...This puts fears into people who are 4'11"-5'5" that are 78-135 pounds...my 6'7" brother dont wanna go against me unless he gets my Bullet proof CONDOR molle style vest and helmet, AND my Mac-11 and M4.

THis was a 1 minute battle, 1 on 1. Grayson with a Mac-11 and Me with my M324 desert camo, i had a scope that i zero-d in he was trying to be sneeky and come up from the far left. I cocked it back and let him come withen 20 feet and yelled "U BETTER RUN OR YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A HAND!!" And right then i shot his knuckle to bring pain upon him..HAHA he almost cried and i laughed (he aint tough...well a little)

This gun is for the professional and near professional, as those are the only kind of people that will play with you if you own this gun. Best Air Soft Sniper for the cost. Anything more powerful is just more painful, and will get people angrier at you for hitting them.

If you want to be professional airsoft sniper or are a professional airsoft sniper and you are looking for a professional sniper Rifle, this is your gun. It inflicts massive pain through multiple layers of clothing at over 100 feet. Is so accurate that I did not even need my scope, just point and shoot. If you are going to buy a scope go ahead, as long as you are serious about sniping.

I could tell you war stories but there really is nothing to tell.
This is how it went I got out this gun, zeroed in my scope and waited, the first person that tried to move I nailed in the chest (squeals of pain), the next person that tried to move I nailed in the chest (squeals of pain), and so on until the game was over. The other team hardly even got the chance to fire. Everyone that moved was shot and the game quickly ended.

"Ouch" and "where is that F'ing sniper" (Please excuse my language) are the most common things you will hear when using this gun. So hide well, practice A LOT and you will easily beat anyone. you come up against. This is an amazing gun and now my absolute favorite sniper rifle.

When buying this gun Get:
-Match grade .28gram pellets
-The pair of extra clips
-A scope if you like(the UTG 4X32 Mil-Dot Airsoft Rifle Scope is just fine)
-A bag for your baby
-An electric secondary weapon(I am getting the JG MP5-PDW but the JG MP5-k is fine)
-A Bag for your secondary, more clips/batteries for that are good too.

If you get those things you will be set for as long as you are a sniper. Until you need to buy more ammo.

I hope this helped...

... this is a beast i recommend 2 any 1 it is my all time favorite springer but i acidently left the gun cocked for a couple days and its less powerful but not 2much but i found a web site that sells new parts for it and im upgrading for the gun heres the pros and cons

PROS=
-accurate
-easy to load
-funnnnnnnnn
-easy cocking
-full metal barrel and trigger stuff exept the grip and stock its some sort of platic
-shoots through both sides of a soda can from 100 ft
-shoots through both sides of a full unopened soda can from around 50 ft

so in all i recommend this gun its fun relible and durable get .25 or .2g bbs they work the best and dont spend alot of money on a scope and just make sure to check if its cocked when ur done so your spring lasts longer and please review this and rate if it was helpful or not

This is one of the best snipers on the market. The power on this gun will make you soil yourself. The accuracy on this gun could compare to the real version of the rifle. All in all, it's a beautiful gun. This thing is basicly full metal. The only thing that isn't metal is the stock and trigger guard. With this said, the gun with all accessories weighs around ten pounds. Also, the thing is almost four feet long which is very scary to other players.

This is a competition grade sniper. It is extremely quiet and if you got black stealth bb's, ghillie suit, and a rifle rap, you will never be found. You might want to get yourself a spotter to help you estimate distance. If you can find a skilled spotter and you are a skilled sniper you will be unstoppable. Most of the time you can be your own spotter but it is always better to have someone else. The one thing that I have also found out about all UTG guns is that their hop-up needs to be warmed up. What I mean is that you have to take about three shots and the hop-up starts working perfectly. Maybe its just that I have a new gun.

The best ammo to use is .28g. I don't see why people say they greatly decrease range, because I can get a round going more that 250 feet. The cammo on the gun is perfect for just about any grassy area. It has some tan coloring so I guess you could use for desert but I would just buy desert cammo for that. When ever you get shot at by this thing you always hear the round "wizing" towards you and it's very scary. The shot gets there almost instantly. The barrel in this gun is extremely tight. I put a round down the barrel and usually the bb just instantly falls to the bottom of the gun. This time tough, It actually took a while, therefor the barrel lets less air around the round and all the air pushing the round.

Pros:
- Very good feel
- Very good looks
- Feels extremely real
- More accurate than any gun I have shot
- Hurts
- Quiet
- Full metal
- Good mag capasity

Cons:
- None (If you can find any youre crazy...)

I have already reviewed the UTG M324(read review)click the read all of my reviews button to the left. So I will only comment on the camo.
Pros; scientificly proven to be better camo
looks way cool
unique

Cons: now I am waiting for the marine digital camo

I think thaT utg SHOULD COME OUT WITH stocks that are sold seperately so you could have a stock for every enviroment. PLEASE UTG DO IT!!

This product works great and is accurate, which is a huge reason why i love this rifle!! Its also very quiet which is great if you want that stealthy quality and are the sniper for your team. It also has that good weight to it, which makes it feel as if you are holding the real thing!!! Over all, it is an amazing gun and I recommend this product to anyone who wants that REAL MILITARY FEEL!!!

i think this is a GREAT GUN!!! the reason because i put 4 out of 5 is because my friend has it not me (curse you friend! *shakes fist angrily into air*)

anyway on to pros and cons *dramatic music plays* dun dun duuuuuun

PROS
cost great for good sniper
fps
range
2 mags come with it
and bipod

CONS
i think its a little on the hefty side only because when youre running around for some odd hours non stop it starts to get a little hefty
only one i could find out

now that we're done with pros and cons i think that this is a great gun if you dont want to go over your budget, i think that u should get a scope for this or at least a red dot if you are concerned about your budget plus the other reason i put this as a 4 out of 5 is because everyone gets tired of being the one that gets sniped in the head,face,and krochel area etc. anyway u get what i mean
